Usha has 4 times as many coins as Jaslyn. Jaslyn has
37 as many coins as Abi. If the three of them have a total of 176 coins, how many coins does Usha have?
Usha |
Jaslyn |
Abi |
4x3 |
1x3 |
|
|
3x1 |
7x1 |
12 u |
3 u |
7 u |
The number of coins that Jaslyn has is repeated. Make the number of coins that Jaslyn has the same. LCM of 1 and 3 is 3.
Total number of coins that the three of them have
= 12 u + 3 u + 7 u
= 22 u
22 u = 176
1 u = 176 ÷ 22 = 8
Number of coins that Usha has
= 12 u
= 12 x 8
= 96
Answer(s): 96
